Crossroads. The Hohenzollerns and the Religious Confessions 1517–1740

In an impressive display, the special exhibition “Crossroads” examines the roles played by the different religious confessions in the life of one of the great European dynasties. Unique manuscript documents, precious examples of the arts of book-binding, goldsmithing and textile manufacture, and copies of Luther’s famous Ninety-Five Theses, printed in 1517, make tangible the context in which these decisions were made and the factors which affected them, and thus give new insights into an exciting chapter of European cultural history.
